Yesterday, we celebrated my kid’s 10th birthday with friends in the park. (Um. Let’s just take a moment to note that this small human I helped create, carried around inside my body for the better part of a year, and then expelled from an exceedingly small orifice in my body is now A DECADE OLD. …
Okay, y’all’re gonna think the title is extra corny once you figure it out. In related news, it just occurred to me that we’re only a few months out from the 40th anniversary of the movie The Outsiders. And if you’re of my generation (again, I plan to write a longer post about that sometime …
So, this is nearly 8 months late, but here are all the books I read last year. 2021 was a great reading year for me. It’s funny — since the pandemic started, all of my bookworm friends tend to fall into one of two categories: they’ve been reading more than they ever have in their …

But for now, updatery: As promised, here’s a link to my …
YIPPEE! I love these stories and am so excited to share them with you!!! So, in case you didn’t know it yet — a few days back, I pubbed my latest book: The Elven Dead and Other Legends of the Light-Walkers! This one is an anthology of 5 short stories and one novella, all set …
